My partner and I enjoyed the 3 hour ride on the Allegheny Special in the dome car. The staff were…read morehelpful and friendly and the seating upstairs comfortable (I'm 6'4", and sometimes that's an issue). When we were seated, we were offered a drink and a bag of potato chips. After that, they handed out the boxed lunches we had pre-ordered. We each had the veggie wrap. We both thought it was outstanding. Because of the large bag of chips we had just had, we each ate only half of our wraps and took the other half home for dinner. I was impressed with the flavor, freshness and quality of the wrap. It came with a very good pasta salad and a chocolate brownie (excellent). The beverage service was well done, with staff coming by periodically to offer drink refills. A variety of soft drinks and coffee were complimentary throughout the ride. And we got to take our glass home as a souvenir. The ride itself is scenic for part of the way. Leaving Staunton out into the countryside did involve a fairly long stretch where there were trees on both sides, but you couldn't see into the distance. Then things opened up. There was periodic recorded commentary about the history of the area, about trains and some about the mountains and other sites we passed. Halfway through the trip, we stopped and they explained that half of us in the dome needed to get our things and go downstairs for a few minutes so they could reverse all of the seats (so we wouldn't be riding backwards on the trip back.). That process seemed to take over 20 minutes (a long time), but it did make the outside viewing on the trip back much more enjoyable. The ticket isn't cheap, but it's a good experience, the staff are nice and hardworking and the food (what we ordered) was quite good. If you are looking for a train ride with incredible views, you likely would prefer the Amtrak options, including between Denver and Emeryville, CA. But this is a pleasant diversion for a few hours. We went mid-April. I suspect the experience is different in the fall and at other times of the year.

A good functional rest area right off I-81 northbound. There…read moreare multiple safety rest areas along Interstate 81 in Virginia, which runs roughly 325 miles from the Tennessee state line near Bristol to West Virginia near Winchester. They are operated and maintained by the Virginia Department of Transportation. This particular rest area is located along I-81 northbound near Mount Sidney, and it serves as a straightforward, functional stop for travelers needing a break. We pulled in while traveling north and found it to be an easy on-and-off exit with clear signage. Parking is laid out logically, with plenty of car parking close to the main building and truck parking separated on the other side and beyond the building, which helps reduce congestion. There is a single restroom building, and during our visit the bathrooms were clean, functional, and well maintained. Several picnic tables sit just off the parking lot, including a mix of shaded and unshaded tables, making it convenient to stop for a quick snack or stretch. That said, this is a basic, no-frills rest area with very little natural shade or tree cover overall, so on hot or sunny days it may feel a bit exposed. The walkways and surrounding grounds were clean, and everything appeared to be in good working order. Overall, this Mount Sidney rest area does exactly what it's supposed to do: provide a safe, and clean place to stop briefly before getting back on the road.

There are vending machines and a spot for dog walking and if you feel like it, a set of stairs that will take you on a nature walk. Just remember to never hike alone!
